ANNOUNCEMENT: cassandra-aws project
Colleagues:
I'd like to announce a pet project I started:
https://github.com/olegdulin/cassandra-aws
What I would like to accomplish as an end-goal is an Amazon marketplace
AMI that makes it easy to configure a new Cassandra cluster or add new
nodes to an existing Cassandra cluster, w/o having to jump through
hoops. Ideally I'd like to do for Cassandra what RDS does for
PostgreSQL in AWS, for instance, but I am not sure if ultimately it is
possible.
To get started, I shared some notes in the wiki as well as a couple of
scripts I used to simplify things for myself. I put those scripts
together from input I received on the #cassandra IRC channel and this
mailing list and I am very greatful to the community for helping me
through this -- so this is my contribution back.
Consider this email as a solicitation for help. I am open to
discussions, and contributions, and suggestions, anything you can help
with.
Regards,
Oleg

I guess I didn't know about the ComboAMI!
Thanks! I'll look into this.
I have been rolling my own AMIs for a simple reason -- we have
on-premises environments and in AWS. I wanted them to be the same,
structurally, so I used our on-prem configurations as a starting point.
Regards,
Oleg

Cool :)
https://github.com/riptano/ComboAMI is the DataStax AMI repo.

Is there something that ComboAMI doesn't cover for your needs or is
there some area that could be improved upon?

Would it be less overall work to implement changes you'd like to see by
contributing them to ComboAMI?
I fully support lots of variations of tools - whatever makes things
easiest for people to do exactly what they need, or in languages they're
comfortable with, etc.

Hi,
I'am interested to know differences between your AMI and the Datastax one,
already available in the market place.
Thanks,
Philippe
